Hi Mario,
Your Ask the Experts question was answered by Brian Pace. Coach Pace is a National Level Table Tennis Coach with Dynamic Table Tennis and his response is as follows:
Thanks for your message, and welcome back to Table Tennis.
Things have changed since you played last, but you have created a good start for yourself. My suggestion for the mid-range style that you have would be –
- Viscaria: The most versatile attack blade from Butterfly, and the Best Seller
- Tenergy 80: This rubber is plays to the mid-range position on the table with a medium range of arc
This set-up will put you in the range of play that is comfortable for you without feeling like you have to force or finesse your shots. If you find that you want to stay closer, then the Tenergy 05 is the ideal rubber, because of its closer range of play trajectory. If you find that you want to play long distance from the table, then the Tenergy 64 is the ideal rubber.
If you find that you want more touch from any of these rubbers, then choosing to use the “FX” rubber will allow you to have more feel on all the touch shots without losing power on the attack shots.
This same range of rubber exist with the Dignics line, and the biggest difference is the Dignics top-sheets create more spin.
I hope this moves you in the right direction with your training and improvement
Coach Pace
